Facebook beats mobile for teens (and other bits)

Damien Mulley has conducted a survey among 101 teenagers on their mobile and digital habits. It throws up some interesting trends. For example, more teens use Facebook than phone calls to contact mates on their mobile. (The Irish Times takes a slightly different tone in its coverage of the survey here.) Also, Meteor is cited as having almost half the teen market, with Nokia being the most common handset (though iPhone is "most desired). Both of these statistics are probably as much to do with parents and budgets than individual preferences.

What happens to your digital accounts when you die? That's what iDeparted.com is for. Mainly Twitter and Facebook, but also blogs.

For what it's worth, that URL doesn't have any 300-euro 32" 1080p sets any more. so either they're sold out, or they've had a web update that removes those from the online-visible catalogue.

I'm gutted, as I spent a few hours at the weekend attempting to source a good 32" 1080p LCD set, browsing various traditional Irish bricks-and-mortar retailers' online sites -- none had good deals in stock. Argos.ie had an attractive LG set, but none were in stock when I used their stock-checker tool. I eventually gave up and bought online from the UK via eBay, for EUR360.
